Hi guys,

Sorry to wade into the debate like this but Blak Yak Theatre desperately needs an actor for their upcoming production of Sourcery. We open in 2 and 1/2 weeks and due to circumstances beyond our control one of our male actors has had to leave town. We're looking for someone who is youngish 18-35 and can play a variety of roles. The cast and crew are fantastic, there's lots of explosions, near nudity, violence and orang-utans. So if you're tempted and you fit the above description please, please, please call me on 041 799 4544 or email at this address.

Thanks

Melissa Merchant

Thanks for that Kimberly.
Yes it would be wrong to cast a female in a male role in this particular play simply because everything else is accurate. If we had other actors playing opposite gebders it would be alright but just the one actor doesn't fit (we gave it very serious consideration though!)

However the good news is that we have found an actor who is willing to step in at the last moment and save us all from ruin (I'm exaggerating a little, but it felt that way for a while!). Thank you all for the hints though.

See you all at the show (details will be posted a little closer to opening date)

Melissa
